"What's the point of riding up a mountain that it'd be quicker to go up by foot?"

here exists in Asturias, Northern Spain, in the middle of the Sierra del Aramo, a mountain whose road is barely marked on maps because it is a cattle road that was only recently paved. It is called Alto de l'Angliru, and has been used 8 times in La Vuelta (the Grand Cycling Tour of Spain) prompting Marzio Bruseghin, the Italian Rider to say "What's the point of riding up a mountain that it'd be quicker to go up on foot" Well, for Sportinspired of course, and Neale will be doing it in May!
